Will be following to see a long term report on the durability of the Maverick with this engine swap.

Also want to see a 5.0 stuffed into one of these, or a bronco!

A few ppl have attempted a Coyote swap into big Bronco. Haven't seen anyone complete get one running yet.

As for Maverick surprised no mention of torque steer. My 2.0 Sport has pretty bad torque steer.
When I step on it torque comes on hard and fast lot of torque steer on mine. I used to have SRT4 with bad torque steer and after warranty expired I put on stiffer lower control arm bushings and that got rid of it.

Also, the ptu and transmission are actually rated for slightly less torque than the 2.0 puts out, IIRC...

SRT4; would that have been a Dodge neon? My son had one of those. It was an amazing rocket!

Yep my 30 year old son has it now 110k miles and its still real fast. Other then lower control arm bushings, motor mount inserts, K&N drop in, and a slight bend in waste gate arm for couple more PSI in boost its still all stock. No need to mod it its plenty fast all stock. Its been super reliable car too....
